Getting into my car, you know, breaking my chair down, putting it in my car, exit faster and easier, or I can do it a lot faster and easier than I could in the beginning. Getting dressed in the morning, taking a shower in the morning, doing all the stuff that you need to do to get ready for the day, and then also get ready to go to bed at night. Just being able to get on the couch. I remember when I first went home, I’m like sitting up in my chair watching TV forever at night and stuff, and I hated it because I wanted to get on the couch. And then finally, I just started trying to get on the couch, and now I get on the couch just like before. So, that’s something that’s gotten easier.
